Another thought...if an Rx type med isn't available, maybe you could explore safe herbal anti-inflammatories...? Another thought too is topical nsaids like Voltaren Gel (which I use at times for a toe joint of mine)...there may still be some liver involvement but if it's topical it may be much less threatening. If vet doesn't have Voltaren Gel for dogs, you could bring the 'scrip to your pharmacist.
Ann, I love you! You are such a sweet soul.

I have some Voltaren Gel!!! I only half-heartedly put some on my neck Sunday and forgot I used it. It might help Tibbe. I have a tiny tube my doctor gave me to try out and it hasn't worked on my hip - the pain in the left hip is deep, intra-articular generated but it might work on him. Should I ask the vet to ask if it's safe.
